I have just heard that the Australian program commences on November 30. This is outstanding news. We have a project team in the early stages of planning to commence a "Give Many" program via donations from the coffee industry and are keen to get going ASAP.

I am looking forward to seeing a strong Australian contribution to the OLPC program.

I've just received an email with details on how to pay through the online payment page. Unfortunately, whoever set it up didn't realise that Victoria is part of Australia. It refuses to accept any address in Victoria. Any idea how I'm supposed to pay?

Edit: It's just been fixed! ( I didn't think Victoria had declared independence)

I've been watching the OLPC program for a little over 3 years now and was very frustrated when the G1G1 program for North America kicked off - for North America only. I googled G1G1 in late October/Early November and accidentally restricted my search to Australia - I was surprised to see a link to the .org.au site which I followed and found the recently constructed and only partially operational site.
